Clogged printer heads
I have a Lexmark Genesis S815 that I use very infrequently but despite the infrequent use was a pretty reliable printer until I ran out of the Lexmark-brand ink. I decided to try this off brand and thought the cartridges would work at first b/c I was able to install them easily and my printer registered the ink levels from the cartridges. However, after a couple of print jobs the colors started fading.To troubleshoot, I did the following:1. I ran printer head cleaning cycles (which floods the heads with more ink). However, that didn't work at all - the colors just kept getting more and more spotty until only a light blue would show up on the print test instead of all 4 colors.2. I did some manual print head cleaning using isopropanol, followed by a printer head cleaning that prints two print test pages. The first printout showed that 3 of the 4 colors broke through again, but then the next printed the colors began fading once more.3. Repeated the manual isopropanol cleaning and then did the printer head cleaning. Similar result as 2.4. Just did printer head cleaning without isopropanol and results were even worse than 2 and 3.Now I'm confident that there must be too many particles in this ink and they are just clogging the print head. It's too bad the quality control wasn't good enough in my case. I know there are some good reviews out there, but for my printer, this ink didn't work out.

Life Saver
I have put off purchasing ink cartridges for a very long time. The reason? THEY ARE SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!!! Lexmark doesn't believe in discounts...lol. I ran across these while browsing and said for the price, I'll give it a try. $15 is better that $60 and day. THESE CARTRIDGES ARE A SPOT ON DUPE!! They fit my printer perfectly and after a print test, they worked great. I will definitely repurchase these in the future. Oh and the seller is good too. He was professional with helping me track my package and possible delivery time.

Lexmark 405 - Good and bad
I have brought from this vendor before and for some reason ink is not printing to page.10 Oct 2020 Update - I replaced the ink with new cartridges and it print but here are the problems with these cartridges. 1. Ink level get low even when you do not print often 2. Printer head gets clogged and you will either have to replace it (very expensive) or clean it. I have not tried to clean one as I purchased another one. 3. I think ink levels get low quickly when you do print which I will test this theory. 4. Some black cartridge is bigger than original LX 100 and will not fit. I give a 4 stars simply for the facts that you cannot beat the cost and the quantity that they provide.

DO NOT BUY!!! Waste of Money!!!
Do not purchase this ink!!. I purchased them for my Lexmark S301 printer to have handy when i need to replace my ink. That time came today to replace and all 3 cartridges do not work! I even purchased a new printerhead thinking that was causing an issue but that was not the issue. These cartridges are generic, my printer is reading them but showing low levels of ink within the cartridge (weird since it's new?), and now I have to purchase the legit ink from somewhere else.Save yourself the money and spend the little bit extra for another brand of color ink.

Great substitute for expensive cartridges
I have an old as dirt S400 interpret that my mom and dad used in like 2012 lol. Instead of buying a new printer, I decided to just replace the ink as it works fine for my basic needs of printing black and whites with the occasional color print.2 packs for $22 is a steal and they work great! The only small caveat is that my printer wants to re-align a lot. Some others mentioned this, but the ink will splooge a little as well. ;) I'd wear gloves before hand.Re; align. Hopefully this doesn't happen every time I fire it up, but time will tell. It's done it twice in a row now which can be a hassle when you're quickly trying to print something. The printing itself is flawless and looks great.Highly recommended!

Lexmark S605, Resurrected
These cartridges really do work (albeit with some online advice in manipulating the S605 into accepting them). They are 'way less expensive than Lexmark-manufactured ink cartridges, and make it possible for me to use the print function of this machine. I'm using it for everyday printing chores, and it works fine for those efforts.Thank you, Yatunink!

They were a mess
I was hesitant to order these as they had a number of bad reviews but figured for the price it was worth a shot. Well, they were a mess. Just trying to get them out of the package and into the printer, my husband and I both got ink all over our hands. They were a real mess. We never even got to the point of trying to print with them. There were some good reviews that said they worked really well but the ones we got didn't. We threw all of them away and figured that was $22 lost. I guess you get what you pay for. Buy at your own risk, you might get a set of the good ones.

Could Not Print with These Cartridges
After loading the new ink cartridges into my Lexmark Pro205, the function screen read, "Print error. Cannot print." I called Tech Support and they tried for 3+ hours to correct the problem. Finally they recommended that I return all of the cartridges, which I did, and Amazon fully refunded all my money and how to ship through UPS. The following week I purchased a new EPSON printer which is working beautifully.
